"You can imagine that I look back on my life's work
with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a
single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I am
uncertain whether in general I am on the right track." - Einstein quote at his
age of 70 years

Throughout his early years, Einstein was an unknown outside of the narrow
world of physics. But starting in 1919 he became celebrated around the
world. Einstein owed his sudden fame to the headline writers of newspapers
in England and America. A world exhausted by war was eager for distractions,
and the "bending of light" provided instantly beguiling slogans. As a
wild-haired eccentric with a sense of humor and a rumpled charm, Einstein
made for good newspaper copy.

Albert Einstein is held up by the establishment as a rare genius who
drastically changed the field of theoretical physics. As such, he is made an
idol to young people, and his very name has become synonymous with genius.
The truth, however, is very different. The reality is that Einstein was no
"rocket scientist" . He was a relatively ignorant person who could not even
tie his own shoelaces. He contributed nothing original to the field of
physics or any other science, but on the contrary he stole the ideas of
other men, and the establishment media made him a hero.

When we actually examine the life of Albert Einstein, we find that his only
brilliance lay in his ability to plagiarize and steal other people's ideas,
passing them off as his own.
Einstein's education, or lack thereof, is an important part of this story.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says of Einstein's early education that he
"showed little scholastic ability." It also says that at the age of 15,
"with poor grades in history, geography and languages, he left school with
no diploma." Einstein himself wrote in a school paper of his "lack of
imagination and practical ability." In 1895, Einstein failed a simple
entrance exam to an engineering school in Zurich. This exam consisted mainly
of mathematical problems, and Einstein showed himself to be mathematically
inept in this exam. He then entered a lesser
school hoping to use it as a stepping stone to the engineering school he
could not get
into, but after graduating in 1900, he still could not get a position at the
engineering
school. Unable to go to the school as he had wanted, he got a job (with the
help of a
friend) at the patent office in Bern. He was to be a technical expert third
class, which
meant that he was too incompetent for a higher qualified position. Even
after publishing his so-called groundbreaking papers of 1905 and after
working in the
patent office for six years, he was only elevated to a second class
standing. Remember, the work he was doing at the patent office, for which he
was only rated third class, was not quantum mechanics or theoretical
physics, but was reviewing technical documents for patents of everyday
things; yet he was barely qualified.

He would work at the patent office until 1909, all the while continuously
trying to get a position at a university, but without success. All of these
facts are true, but now begins the myth. Supposedly, while working a
full-time job, without the aid of university colleagues, a staff of graduate
students, a laboratory, or any of the things normally associated with an
academic setting, Einstein in his spare time wrote four groundbreaking
essays in the field of theoretical physics that were published in 1905. Many
people have recognized the impossibility of such a feat, including Einstein
himself, and therefore Einstein has led people to believe that many of these
ideas came to him in his sleep, out of the blue, because indeed that is the
only logical explanation of how an admittedly inept fellow could have
written such documents at the age of 26, without any real education.
However, a simpler explanation exists:

Einstein stole the ideas and plagiarized the papers.

Therefore, we will look at each of these ideas and discover the sources of
them. It should be remembered that these ideas are presented by Einstein's
worshippers as totally new and completely different, each of which would
change forever the landscape of science. These four papers dealt with the
following four ideas:

(1) The foundation of the photon theory of light;
(2) The equivalence of energy and mass;
(3) The explanation of Brownian motion in liquids;
(4) The special theory of relativity.

RELATIVITY
Let us first look at the last of these theories, the theory of relativity.
This is perhaps the most famous idea falsely attributed to Einstein.
Specifically, this 1905 paper dealt with what Einstein called the Special
Theory of Relativity (the general theory would come in 1915). This theory
contradicted the traditional Newtonian mechanics and was based upon two
premises: (1) in the absence of acceleration, the laws of nature are the
same for all
observers; and (2) since the speed of light is independent of the motion of
its source, then the time interval between two events is longer for an
observer in whose frame of reference the events occur at different places
than for an observer in whose frame of reference the events occur in the
same place. This is basically the idea that time passes more slowly as one's
velocity approaches the speed of light, relative to slower velocities where
time would pass faster.

This theory has been validated by modern experiments and is the basis for
modern physics. But these two premises are far from being originally
Einstein's. First of all, the idea that the speed of light was a constant
and was independent of the motion of its source was not Einstein's at all,
but was proposed by the Scottish scientist James Maxwell. Maxwell studied
the phenomenon of light extensively and first proposed that it was
electromagnetic in nature. He wrote an article to this effect for the 1878
edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. His ideas prompted much debate, and
by 1887, as a result of his work and the ensuing debate, the scientific
community, particularly Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853-1928), Albert Abraham
Michelson (1852-1931) and Edward Williams Morley (1838-1923), reached the
conclusion that the velocity of light was independent
of the velocity of the observer. Thus, this piece of the special theory of
relativity was
known 27 years before Einstein wrote his paper.

This debate over the nature of light also led Michelson and Morley to
conduct an important experiment, the results of which could not be explained
by Newtonian
mechanics. They observed a phenomenon caused by relativity but they did not
under-stand relativity. They had attempted to detect the motion of the earth
through ether, which was a medium thought to be necessary for the
propagation of light. In response to this problem, in 1889, the Irish
physicist George Francis FitzGerald (1851- 1901), who had also first
proposed a mechanism for producing radio waves, wrote a paper which stated
that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment could be explained if
"the length of material bodies changes, according as they are moving
through the ether or across it, by an amount depending on the square of the
ratio of their velocities to that of light."

This is the theory of relativity, 13 years before Einstein's paper.

Furthermore, in 1892, Lorentz, from the Netherlands, proposed the same
solution and began to greatly expand the idea. All throughout the 1890s,
both Lorentz and FitzGerald worked on these ideas and wrote articles
strangely similar to Einstein's special theory detailing what is now known
as the Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction. In 1898, the Irishman Joseph Larmor
wrote down equations explaining the Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction and its
relativistic consequences, seven years before Einstein's paper. By 1904,
Lorentz trans-
formations, the series of equations explaining relativity, were published by
Lorentz. They describe the increase of mass, the shortening of length, and
the time dilation of a body moving at speeds close to the velocity of light.
In short, by 1904, everything in Einstein's paper regarding the special
theory of relativity had already been published.

The French mathematician and physicist Jules Henri Poincare (April 29, 1854-
July 12, 1912) had, in 1898, written a paper unifying many of these ideas.
He stated, seven years before Einstein's paper, that: "[W]e have no direct
intuition about the equality of two time intervals. The simultaneity of two
events or the order of their succession, as well as the equality of two time
intervals, must be denned in such a way that the statements of the natural
laws be as simple as possible."

Anyone who has read Einstein's 1905 paper will immediately recognize the
similarity. Thus we see that the only thing original about the Einstein
paper was the term "special theory of relativity." Everything else was
plagiarized. Over the next few years, Poincare became one of the most
important lecturers and writers regarding relativity; but he never, in any
of his papers or speeches, mentioned Albert Einstein. Thus, while Poincare
was busy bringing the rest of the academic world up to speed regarding
relativity, Einstein was still working in the patent office in Bern, and no
one in the academic community thought it necessary to give much credence or
mention to Einstein's work. Most of these early physicists knew he was a
fraud.

BROWNIAN MOTION
This brings us to the explanation of Brownian motion, the subject of another
of Einstein's 1905 papers. Brownian motion describes the irregular movement
of a very small body (such as a grain of pollen suspended in water) arising
from the thermal energy of the molecules of the fluid in which the body is
immersed. The movement had first been observed by the Scottish botanist
Robert Brown in 1827. The explanation of this phenomenon has to do with the
kinetic theory of matter, and it was the American Josiah Gibbs and the
Austrian Ludwig Boltzmann who first explained this occurrence, not Albert
Einstein. In fact, the mathematical equation describing the motion contains the
famous Boltzmann constant, k.1 Between these two men, they had explained by
the 1890s everything in Einstein's 1905 paper regarding Brownian motion.

MASS-ENERGY EQUIVALENCE
The subject of the equivalence of mass and energy was contained in a third
paper published by Einstein in 1905. This concept is expressed by the famous
equation E=mc2. Einstein's biographers categorize this as "his most famous
and most spectacular conclusion." Even though this idea is an obvious
conclusion of Einstein's earlier relativity paper, it was not included in
that paper but was published as an afterthought later in the year. Still,
the idea of energy-mass equivalence was not original with Einstein.

That there was an equivalence between mass and energy had been shown in the
laboratory in the 1890s by both J.J. Thomson of Cambridge and by W. Kaufmann
in Gottingen. In 1900, Poincare had shown that there was a mass relationship
for all forms of energy, not just electromagnetic energy. Yet, the most
probable source of Einstein's plagiarism was Friedrich Hasenohrl, one of the
most brilliant, yet unappreciated physicists of the era.Hasenohrl was the
teacher of many of the German scientists who would later become famous for a
variety of topics. He had worked on the idea of the equivalence of mass and
energy for many years and had published a paper on the topic in 1904 in the
very same journal which Einstein would publish his plagiarized version in
1905. For his brilliant work in this area, Hasenohrl had received in 1904 a
prize from the prestigious Vienna Academy of Sciences.

Furthermore, the mathematical relationship of mass and energy was a simple
deduction from the already well-known equations of Scottish physicist James
Maxwell. Scientists long understood that the mathematical relationship
expressed by the equation E=mc2 was the logical result of Maxwell's work;
they just did not believe it. Thus, the experiments of Thomson,
Kaufmann and finally, and most importantly, Hasenohrl, confirmed Max-
well's work. It is ludicrous to believe that Einstein developed this
postulate, particularly in light of the fact that Einstein did not have the
laboratory necessary to conduct the appropriate experiments.

In this same plagiarized article of Einstein's, he suggested to the
scientific community, "Perhaps it will prove possible to test this theory
using bodies whose energy content is variable to a high degree (e.g., salts
of radium)." This remark demonstrates how little Einstein understood about
science, for this was truly an outlandish remark. By saying this, Einstein
showed that he really did not understand basic scientific principles and
that he was writing about a topic that he did not know. In fact, in
response to this article, J. Precht remarked that such an experiment "lies
beyond the realm of possible experience."

PHOTON THEORY OF LIGHT
The last subject dealt with in Einstein's 1905 papers was the foundation of
the photon theory of light. Einstein wrote about the photoelectric effect.
The photoelectric effect is the release of electrons from certain metals or
semiconductors by the action of light. This area of research is particularly
important to the Einstein myth, because it was for this topic that he
unjustly received his 1921 Nobel prize.

But again, it is not Einstein, but Wilhelm Wien and Max Planck (1858-1947)
who deserve the credit. The main point of Einstein's paper, and the point
for which he is given credit, is that light is emitted and absorbed in
discrete packets called quanta. This was the explanation for the
photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect had been explained by
Heinrich Hertz in 1888. Hertz and others, including Philippe Lenard, worked
on understanding this phenomenon. Lenard was the first to show that the
energy of the electrons released in the photoelectric effect was not
governed by the intensity of the light but by the frequency of the light.
This was an important breakthrough.

Wien and Planck were colleagues, and they were the fathers of modem-day
quantum theory. By 1900, Max Planck, based upon his and Wien's work, had
shown that radiated energy was absorbed and emitted in finite units he
called quanta. The only difference between his work of 1900 and Einstein's
work of 1905 was that Einstein limited himself to talking about one
particular type of energy@light energy. But
the principles and equations
governing the process in general had been deduced by Planck in 1900.
Einstein himself admitted that the obvious conclusion of Planck's work was
that light also existed in discrete packets of energy. Thus, nothing in this
paper of Einstein's was original.

After the 1905 papers of Einstein were published, the scientific community
took little notice and Einstein continued his job at the patent office until
1909, when it was
arranged for him to take a position at a school. It was not until a 1919
newspaper
headline that he gained any notoriety. With Einstein's academic appointment
in 1909,
he was placed in a position where he could begin to use other people's work
as his own
more easily. He engaged many of his students to look for ways to prove the
theories
he had supposedly developed, or ways to apply those theories; and then he
could present the research as his own, or at least 'take partial credit. In
this vein, in 1912, he began to try to express his gravitational research
in terms of a new, recently developed calculus, which was conducive to
understanding relativity. This was the beginning of his general theory of
relativity, which he would publish in 1915. But the mathematical work was
not done by Einstein, he was incapable of it. Instead, it was performed by
the mathematician Marcel Grossmann, who used the mathematical principles
developed by Georg Friedrich
Bernhard Riemann (1826-66). Riemann was the first to develop a sound
non-Euclidean geometry, which is the basis of the mathematics used to
formulate general relativity.

Einstein published an initial paper in 1913 based upon the work which
Grossmann did, adapting the math of Riemann to relativity. But this paper
was filled with errors, and the conclusions were incorrect. It appears
Grossmann was not smart enough to figure it out for Einstein. So Einstein
was forced to look elsewhere to plagiarize his general theory. Einstein
published his correct general theory of relativity in 1915, and said prior
to its publication that he, "completely succeeded in convincing Hilbert and
Klein." He is referring to David Hilbert, perhaps the most brilliant
mathematician of the 20th century, and Felix Klein, another mathematician
who had been instrumental in the development
of the area of calculus that Grossmann had used to develop the general
theory of rela-
tivity for Einstein.

Einstein's statement regarding the two men would lead the reader to believe
that Einstein had changed Hubert's and Klein's opinions regarding general
relativity, and that he had influenced them in their thinking. However, the
exact opposite is true. Einstein stole the majority of his general
relativity work from these two men, the rest being taken from Grossmann.
Hilbert submitted for publication, a week before Einstein completed his
work, a paper which contained the correct field equations of general
relativity. What this means is that Hilbert wrote basically the exact same
paper, with the same conclusions, before Einstein did. Einstein would have
had an opportunity to know of Hubert's work all
along, because there were friends of his working for Hilbert and because
Einstein had seen Hubert's paper in advance of publishing his own. Both of
these papers were, before being printed, delivered in the form of a lecture.

Einstein presented his paper on November 25,1915 in Berlin and Hilbert had
presented his paper on November 20 in Gottingen. On November 18, Hilbert
received a letter from Einstein thanking him for sending him a draft of the
treatise Hilbert was to deliver on the 20th. So, in fact, Hilbert had sent
a copy of his work at least two weeks in advance to Einstein before either
of the two men delivered their lectures, but Einstein did not send Hilbert
an advance copy of his. Therefore, this serves as proof that Einstein
quickly plagiarized the work and then presented it, hoping to beat Hilbert
to the punch. Also, at the same time, Einstein publicly began to belittle
Hilbert, even though in the previous summer he had praised him in an effort
to get Hilbert to share his work with him. Hilbert
made the mistake of sending Einstein this draft copy, but still he delivered
his work first.

Not only did Hilbert publish his work first, but it was of much higher
quality than Einstein's. It is now known that there are many problems with
assumptions made in Einstein's general theory paper. We know today that
Hilbert was much closer to the truth. Hubert's paper is the forerunner of
the work of Erwin Schrodinger, whose thinking is the basis of all modem day
quantum mechanics.

That the men discussed so far were the actual originators of the ideas
claimed by
Einstein was known by the scientific community all along. In 1940, a group
of German physicists meeting in Austria declared that "before Einstein,
scientists like Lorentz, Hasenohrl, Poincare etc., had created the
foundations of the theory of relativity."

However, the media did not promote the work of these men. The media did not
promote the work of David Hilbert, but instead they promoted the work of
Albert Einstein. As we mentioned earlier, this general theory, as postulated
by Hilbert first and in plagiarized form by Einstein second, stated that
light rays should bend when they pass by a massive object. In 1919, during
the eclipse of the Sun, light from distant stars passing close to the Sun
was observed to bend according to the theory. This evidence supported the
general
theory of relativity, and the controlled media immediately seized upon the
opportunity to prop up Einstein as a hero, at the expense of the true
genius, David Hilbert.

On November 7th, 1919, The London Times ran an article, the headline of
which
proclaimed, "Revolution in Science−New Theory of the Universe−Newtonian
ideas
Overthrown." This was the beginning of the force-feeding of the Einstein
myth to the
masses. In the following years, Einstein's earlier 1905 papers were
propagandized and Einstein was heralded as the originator of all the ideas
he had stolen. Because of this push by the media, in 1921, Einstein received
the Nobel prize for the work he had stolen in 1905 regarding the
photoelectric effect.

The establishment of the Einstein farce between 1919 and 1921 was an
important coup for political Zionism. As soon as Einstein had been
established as an idol to the popular masses of England and America, his
image was promoted as the rare genius that he is erroneously believed to be
today. As such, he immediately began his work as a tool for world Zionism.
The masses bought into the idea that if someone was so brilliant as to
change our fundamental understanding of the universe, then certainly we
ought to listen to his opinions regarding political and social issues. This
is exactly what world Jewry wanted to establish in its ongoing effort of
social engineering. They certainly did not want someone like David Hilbert
to be recognized as a rare genius. After all, this physicist had come from
a German, Christian background. His grandfather's two middle names were
"Furchtegott Leberecht" or "Fear-God Live-Right." In August of 1934, the day
before a vote was to be taken regarding installing Adolf Hitler as president
of the Reich, Hilbert signed a proclamation in support of Hitler, along
with other leading German scientists, that was published in the German
newspapers. So the establishment
certainly did not want David Hilbert receiving the credit he deserved.

The establishment did not want Max Planck receiving the credit he deserved
either. This German's grandfather and great-grandfather had been important
German theologians, and during World War II he would stay in Germany
throughout the war, supporting his fatherland the best he could.

The establishment certainly did not want the up-and-coming Erwin Schrodinger
to be heralded as a genius to the masses. This Austrian physicist would go
on to teach at Hitler University in Austria, and he wrote a public letter
expressing his support for the Third Reich. This Austrian's work was a
forerunner of modern physics, even though it had been criticized by
Einstein, who apparently could not understand it.

The establishment did not want to have Werner Heisenberg promoted as a rare
genius, even though he would go on to solidify quantum theory and contribute
to it greatly, as well as develop his famous uncertainty principle, in
addition to describing the modem atom and nucleus and the binding energies
that are essential to modern chemistry. No, the establishment did not want
Heisenberg promoted as a genius because he would go on to head the German
atomic bomb project and serve prison time after the war for his involve-
ment with the Third Reich.

No, the establishment did not want to give credit to any of a number of
Germans, Austrians, Irishmen, Frenchmen, Scotsmen, Englishmen and Americans
who had
contributed to the body of knowledge and evidence from which Einstein
plagiarized
and stole his work. Instead, they needed to erect Einstein as their golden
calf, even
though he repeatedly and often embarrassed himself with his non-factual or
nearsighted comments regarding the work he had supposedly done. For example,
in 1934, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran a front-page article in which
Einstein gave an "emphatic denial" regarding the idea of practical
applications for the "energy of the atom." The article says:

“But the "energy of the atom" is something else again. If you believe that
man will someday be able to harness this boundless energy to drive a great
steamship across the ocean on a pint of water, for instance–then,
according to Einstein, you are wrong.”

Again, Einstein clearly did not understand the branch of physics he had
supposedly founded, though elsewhere in the world at the time theoretical
research was underway that would lead to the atomic bomb and nuclear energy.
But after Einstein was promoted as a god in 1919, he made no real attempts
to plagiarize any other work. Rather, he began his real purpose -
evangelizing for the cause of political Zionism. Though he did publish other
articles after this time, all of them were coauthored by at least one other
person, and
in each instance, Einstein had little if anything to do with the research
that led to the
articles; he was merely recruited by the coauthors in order to lend credence
to their
work. Thus freed of the pretense of academia, Einstein began his assault for
world
Zionism.

In 1921, Einstein made his first visit to the United States on a
fund-raising tour for
the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and to promote Zionism. In April of 1922,
Einstein
used his status to gain membership in a Commission of the League of Nations.
In
February of 1923, Einstein visited Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In June of 1923,
he became
a founding member of the Association of Friends of the New Russia. In 1926,
Einstein took a break from his communist and Zionistic activities to again
embarrass himself scientifically by criticizing the work of Schrodinger and
Heisenberg. Following a brief illness, he resumed his political agenda,
wanting an independent Israel and at the same time a world government.

In the 1930s he actively campaigned against all forms of war, although he
would reverse this position during World War II, when he advocated war
against Germany and the creation of the atomic bomb. In 1939 and 1940,
Einstein, at the request of other Jews, wrote two letters to Roosevelt
urging an American program to develop an atomic bomb to be used on Germany–not Japan. Einstein would have no part in the actual construction of the
bomb, theoretical or practical, because he lacked the skills for either.
In December of 1946, Einstein rekindled his efforts for a world government,
with Israel apparently being the only autonomous nation. This push continued
through the rest of the 1940s. In 1952, Einstein, who had been instrumental
in the creation of the state of Israel, both politically and economically,
was offered the presidency of Israel. He declined. In 1953, he spent his
time attacking the McCarthy Committee, and he supported communists such as
J. Robert Oppenheimer. He encouraged civil disobedience in response to the
McCarthy trials. Finally, on April 18, 1955, Einstein died.

The establishment no longer had to worry about Einstein making stupid
statements. His death was just the beginning of his usage and exploitation
by Israel. The controlled media continued to promote the myth of this
"superman" long after his death, and as more and more of the men who knew
better died off, the establishment was more and more able to aggrandize his
myth and lie more boldly. This brazen lying has culminated in Time magazine naming Einstein "The Person of the Century" at the close of 1999. It
may be demonstrated that the lies have become more bold with the passage of
time because
Einstein was never named "Man of the Year" while he was alive, but, over 40
years after his death, he was named "Person of the Century."

But more interesting is the article by Stephen Hawking which purports to be
a history of the theory of relativity. In it, Hawking admits many of the
things in this article, such as the fact that Hilbert published the general
theory of relativity before Einstein and that FitzGerald and Lorentz deduced
the concept of relativity long before Einstein. Hawking also writes:

“Einstein was deeply disturbed by the work of Werner Heisenberg in
Copenhagen, Paul Dirac in Cambridge and Erwin Schrodinger in Zurich, who
developed a new picture of reality called quantum mechanics. Einstein was
horrified by this. Most scientists, however, accepted the validity of the
new quantum laws because they showed excellent agreement with observations.
They are the basis of modem developments in chemistry, molecular biology and
electronics and the foundation of the technology that has transformed the
world in the past half-century.”

This is all very true, yet the same magazine credits Einstein with all of
the modern developments that Hawking names, even through Einstein was so
stupid as to be vehemently against the most important idea of modem science,
just as he opposed
Schrodinger's work, which was far ahead of its time. The same magazine
admits that
"success eluded" Einstein in the field of explaining the contradictions
between rela-
tivity and quantum mechanics. Einstein, who proves himself to be one of the
least
intelligent of 20th-century scientists, refused to believe in quantum
theory.

If Time wanted to give the title to an inventor or scientist, then the most
obvious choice would have been men like Hilbert, Planck or Heisenberg. If
they wanted to give it to the scientist who most fundamentally changed the
landscape of 20th-century science, then the obvious choice would be William
Shockley. This Nobel prize winning scientist invented the transistor, which
is the basis of all modem electronic devices and computers, everything from
modem cars and telephones, videocassette recorders and watches, to the
amazing computers which have allowed inconceivable advances in all fields of
science. Without the transistor, all forms of science today would be basically
in the same place that they were in the late 1940s.

His radical scientific and genetic views led the establishment to
financially destroy
Shockley who founded the first company in the Silicon Valley, his hometown,
to devel-
op computer chips. The establishment hired away his entire staff and used
them to start Fairchild Semiconductor, the company that today is known as
Intel.

After World War II, Einstein demonstrated his dislike of the Germans in the
following statements. He was asked what he thought about Germany and about
reeducating the Germans after the war and said:

“The nation has been on the decline mentally and morally since 1870.
Behind the Nazi Party stands the German people, who elected Hitler after he
had in his book and in his speeches made his shameful intentions clear
beyond the possibility of understanding. The Germans can be killed or
constrained after the war, but they cannot be re-educated to a democratic
way of thinking and acting.”

FOOTNOTES

1 Brownian motion is important because it demonstrates the reality of
molecules, chemical particles, and the Brownian motion formula allows one to
calculate the number of molecules per unit volume by measuring the distance
traveled by the visible particles and determining the mean kinetic energy of
the particles involved.

2 The general theory of relativity applied the principles of relativity to
the gravitational pull of heavenly and other objects, and implied that light
rays appear to "bend" as they pass near a massive object - not because the
rays actually bend, but because the fabric of space itself is curved into
some sort of "fourth dimension" (disregarding the dimension of time) by
gravity, or because gravity itself consists of a curvature in space, caused
by the influence of mass. Such is the current consensus among the majority
of scientists today.
